sheet music & guitar chords

The worldwide Bahá’í community has built up a large repertoire of songs for use in children’s classes. Depending on what you’re looking for, it’s more or less easy to find lyrics, guitar chords and sheet music for Bahá’í songs.

Lyrics and guitar chords

The songs given in Book 3 of the Ruhi curriculum include guitar chords with the lyrics. You can find these online at the Ruhi Institute’s website.

Sheet music

Actual sheet music for Bahá’í songs is a little harder to find, especially online, as many arrangements are copyrighted. If you don’t mind paying for a good Bahá’í songbook, though, you won’t be disappointed.

O Be Joyful!, compiled by Ruth Vander Stelt, is a wonderful collection of sheet music for Bahá’í songs in many languages, including English, French, Spanish, and Arabic. The book is available through the Canadian Bahá’í Distribution Service.

Voice of Devotion is an online songbook featuring original devotional songs composed by Amy Stephen.
